Some sketches ...

~ ... from late this year, all at once, before it's next year already. All on location at parks in the area, all on 3.5x5" sketchbook, with drawing pencils or Pigma Micron pen.

   Mistake: the "on location" part isn't 100%; the second one, the rearview mirror shot was made from a photo. But I did make the photo myself, on location, in the park.

Lake Log

 

6B pencil in 5.5 x 8.5" sketchbook. Log at lake's edge. I was drawn to how the texture of the bark defined the raking of the light across the shape of it.

A friend on FB said she thought it was a gator at first. I can see that, but what a hoot 'n' a holler that would be in northeast Arkansas!
 

 

 

 Okay, I just had to turn off Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox to get this to work, to load an image. Feels like manipulation. This may not fly either ...

I allowed your cookies. What's the problem?

 

 

I haven't been able to get Gaggle to allow me to upload any pictures, despite me allowing their cookies. I was going to try and revive this ol' blog one more time again, but unless this - I can only assume it is a - glitch gets resolved, this may be the end of me on Blogger. No point without images.

Edit, 10/25/2023: Turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection, and changed another setting; now I gotta see which one did it: 

 

Ok, now I know; it's the Enhanced Tracking Protection that has to go.
